BALIBETOV Yerba Mate Set - 2 Gourds, 100gr Loose Leaf, 2 Bombilla, 1 Cleaning Brush - Dark Brown (MAT02)

The design of the cups or recipients is beautiful. The mate is good quality so you have to use just a little bit every time. It is better with sugar or honey and mint. I am glad I bought it. I gave one to my son and the half of the mate package.

I don’t want to give stars to these mugs they are horrible made. I was not able to return which it was very frustrating! Don’t buy these

The mates are excellent quality and come with best practice instructions for curing and cleaning. The travel pack of yerba is the perfect amount to cure both mates. The bombillas and cleaning tools work perfectly and are easy to clean. I recommend their online kiosko for additional goodies.If you're new to mate/yerba I recommend getting an electric kettle and sealable thermos to heat and store the water quickly.Packages from both Amazon and retailer arrived on time and intact, which is a feat considering the distance they travel. If only they sold the fruit packets for tereré.

I love the quality, the only reason I don't give it a five star is because it's so hard to clean and make sure mold is not growing, hard to tell.

I highly recommend this as a gift. I've given it to several people and they just love it! It looks great and the fact it comes with a starter pack is even better!

As someone who works with a lot of argentine's who drink an extensive amount of Maté... This is really not the greatest value for your money.The gourds are two different sizes, which I think is somewhat understandable, given the fact that they are natural gourds...HOWEVER, they are far too big and any argentino will tell you that the gourds are too big to drink out of because they require too much yerba.Realistically, even with the smallest gourd you would have to share and drink it quickly or it would ruin the taste of the Yerba.Overall, a great idea and an earnest attempt at trying to bring the tradition of maté to the mainstream, Western market... But it falls short of its attempt.Most people in Argentina use smaller gourds, silicone, metal and leather or a similar product that cost less than this product does, works better and preserves the flavor far better than these gourds do.Also, the metal band around the top of the cord causes it to leak if you turn it upside down, something that is mandatory for removing the spent yerba.Hope this helps

I truly wanted to like this product and give it its much missed use but I found both mates to leak everywhere.After completing the ritual of curating it, I eagerly started my first round. LEAKS.Several rounds later same issue.I truly simply was looking forward to this…. Iguazú Falls has less waterworks than these two mates and anyone that’s had Yerba mate on their clothes knows that they’re tough stains to clean.Still in the quest for a mate that does not leak everywhere. Any tips on where to find a good quality mate? And none of these metal impostors, the real deal.

Hit all the expectations I had for it and was a good purpose. Just wish it had more actual mate with it. Probably just cause I went through it to quick lol.
